Harry Redknapp is among those who believes Tottenham's first XI is as good as anyone in the Premier League – including Chelsea.
A couple of injuries however and Mauricio Pochettino's squad looks seriously thin for genuine title contenders as witnessed in a shambolic first 20 minutes at Anfield last night.
Without Jan Vertonghen (ankle) and Danny Rose (knee), the Spurs defence looked totally incapable of turning back the Red tide which led to Sadio Mane's early brace of goals.
Replacements Ben Davies and Eric Dier are hardly amateurs and both equipped themselves well at Euro 2016 for Wales and England.
